Primes¶
- Jevons Paradox
- The structure makes the missing premise explicit — the inference "more lanes, less congestion" is invalid without an elasticity model — and prescribes the corrective lever precisely: act on the price channel that the efficiency gain removed, by congestion pricing, which restores the time-or-money cost the extra lane eliminated.
This sourceFoundational argument for congestion pricing as the corrective that restores the price the added capacity removed.

- Parkinson's Law
- The intervention the prime names is cost-of-utilization pricing — congestion tolls that make the marginal trip expensive, converting the fill-the-slack pressure into a conservation pressure.
This sourceArgues for marginal-cost congestion pricing of road use to internalize the cost of the marginal trip.

- Regularization
- Congestion pricing is regularization operating in the governance substrate, and it qualifies precisely because it carries all three marks — soft penalty, tunable weight, generalization justification — rather than being a hard ban.
This sourceFoundational case for congestion pricing: a calibrated, tradable toll on peak-zone travel as a soft penalty rather than a ban.
